Prerequisites Knowledge:
Attendance to all previous sessions.
A basic understanding of Web 2.0 programs.
Knowledge of basic computer functionality.
Post-workshop surveys from day and two sessions should have been completed.
Working knowledge of the Multimedia, Contiguity and Modality Principles

Workshop Content: During this session, teachers will work independently and in groups to prepare for the final sessions presentations. Teachers will review the core concepts that have been covered in the previous 3 workshop sessions. Teacher volunteers will present examples of lessons they have done since the previous sessions that incorporate the 3 principles that have been covered. The session’s Master Teacher will give a presentation on collecting data on the effects of multimedia presentations on student learning and on embedding and sharing Web 2.0 programs for students to review outside of the classroom. Teachers will use the majority of the workshop time to work collaboratively with group members to create a 30 minute multimedia presentation covering the 3 principles that will be presented during the last workshop.
Lesson Objectives:
Given a detailed presentation using the Multimedia, Contiguity and Modality Principles, teachers participating in the fourth day’s workshop will identify and discuss as a group 10 specific benefits to following the principles covered during the workshop.
Using either VoiceThread, Prezi, PhotoPeach, PowToon or Emaze,, teachers will work collaboratively in small groups to create a 30 minute multimedia lesson on a content-specific topic that exhibits the Multimedia, Contiguity and Modality Principles.
Workshop Delivery:
The workshop will begin a review of the Contiguity Principle and the Multimedia Principle. The workshop presenter will deliver a review of the main concepts from the previous workshop by delivering slide examples from presentations made during the first day’s session by teacher participants.
The presenter will review the post-workshop survey results from the second day’s workshop. The presenter will hold discussion on any lingering questions or problems identified in the survey.
Teachers will share how they have been using the lessons learned from the first day sessions of the workshops. Teacher volunteers will present examples of presentations they have created since the first workshop, emphasizing how they have incorporated the Multimedia, Contiguity Principles and Modality Principles.
The Master Teacher will give a quick presentation of a lesson he/she successfully designed and delivered to a class within the past 6 months. Teachers will work collaboratively in groups to discuss and identify 3 specific ways in which the Master Teacher’s presentation successful uses the Multimedia, Contiguity and Modality Principles. Groups will report and discuss their findings.
Working in groups of 2-3 each, teachers will collaboratively plan and prepare a 30 minute lesson that incorporates the 3 multimedia principles learning during the course of the workshop sessions.
Teachers will complete a post-workshop survey available online to assess knowledge gained through the workshop and provide effective feedback for the upcoming session.
Workshop Evaluation Strategies
All teachers will be required to submit a post-workshop survey to identify learning, effective progress and necessary changes or additions to the workshops
Teacher groups will be required to submit a tangible proof of concept at the end of the session. This submission should be a link to the location of the presentation created at the end of the session, with a clearly identified explanation of how the presentation fits the 3 principles covered during the previous sessions.
The workshop presenter and Master Teachers should keep an accurate record of the type of questions asked, and the responses/assistance given during the session.
